Media management policy error in Windows

I’ve been trying to associate a policy for media management to secure my Windows devices. I needed to restrict the use of external media such as USBs and CDs, so I disabled the Allow use of all external media option in the media management policy. The policy applied successfully on most devices, but on a few, it failed. Has anyone else come across this?

Guys, In our office, some team members have a talent for accidentally clicking “Shutdown” or “Restart” from the Start menu right in the middle of important tasks like rendering design projects or crunching large files.

Force BitLocker encryption action fails

Hey Community, I’ve been trying to encrypt the Windows devices at work using the Force Bitlocker remote action. But unfortunately, even after multiple attempts I’m encountering an error with the message “A recovery key or Startup key is 'Required' in the associated BitLocker encryption policy. This action cannot be applied when a Recovery key or a Startup key is required. “. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Ability to choose color of device details on wallpapers

There is currently no option to change the font color for device details. Would it be possible to please allow for that to be something that we can change? The default red is too bright.
